The effects of V/III gas ratios on the catalyst-assisted growths of InGaN nanowires

The transformation of nanowire orientation was likely due to the decrease of indium and gallium compositions in gold catalysts from >85% to <60% with increasing the V/III gas ratios. Besides, the increase of V/III gas ratios enhanced the incorporation efficiency of indium into the nanowires and significantly improved the crystal quality of nanowires by stabilizing the formation of InN under a high concentration of nitrogen radicals for reversing the fast thermal decomposition reaction of InN at 700 °C.
